Fremont Packing House

Construction workers have assembled for this black and white albumen print during the building of the Fremont Packing House circa 1888. The brick walls of the three story plant are being constructed at the site on the south side of Fremont. The male laborers have ceased work to pose for the photographer's exposure. A number of men have lined up on the edge of the third story wall while others have gathered on the loading or shipping dock. Two men stand on the top of a Fremont, Elkhorn and Missouri Valley R.R. boxcar. A team of horses is hitched to an overturned dirt slip or scraper. The driver stands nearby. Tom McNeal is identified by the inked 'x' mark over his head. The driver of the team is identified as John Garrison's father.
